If each parent has custody of 1 child each and 1 is a good parent, with no money for a lawyer?
-
but the 2nd parent (who has lots of money for the best lawyers) is telling the child in their care tons of lies to the point that the child refuses to speak to or spend time with the "good" parent.What can the good parent do? I've read some answers on here that were 100% wrong. You cannot get a state appointed lawyer unless it is a "criminal case" against you. Legal Aid does not do custody cases. Pro Bono? Forget it! The child with the good parent is forced by law to spend 4 days a month with the bad parent & grandparents who, since the custody hearing, have treated her like dirt. Suttle insults, ignored, they NEVER call her, STOPPED ALLOWANCE, STOPPED SHOPPING TRIPS, everything they used to do for/with her. So, what can the good parent do with no lawyer? The child said if she's forced to go this weekend she's running away. They need help now! PLEASE ONLY GOOD, SERIOUS ADVICE.

Answer:
First of all, please ignore anything "bright light" wrote. What a horribly rude, insensitive, sorry individual! Now, I understand about the no money-no help issue. However, what the Mom can do is: 1. Keep a log of every phone call to her son & the outcome (did they answer, get voicemail, did you leave a message, if so what?) 2. If they answer, record the call. 3. Everytime the dad denies visitation or calls, go to the police & file a report. The DA has to prosecute him for interfering with a parenting plan, (big name for contempt. 4. If it's not safe to go to the Ex's house, then 2-3 times per week, call the police & ask them to go check on your son, they have to do it. 4. If there is a history of violence, demand the police reports. 5. Tell her that once the DA takes over, she'll have to wait for a hearing. It'll be hard, but she will win in the end. As for you, you are a great friend to care enough to ask for help & put up with the stupid people spewing venom on here. Best Wishes!!

It to bad there is no way you can get in touch with mediation services. To avoid going to court in the case of divorce and child custody cases. It is best for all that the family goes to a mediator that can help the family out with this custody battle. In the divorce children get caught in the middle. You didn't say how old the child is if they are 16 they can choose who they want to live with. I know of one 16 year old who is living with her mom, while her younger siblings are living with dad and the step mom. This child has been place in a very bad situation. Divorce is never easy, and it's usually hard on children. Also usually it's the bad parent who has money get what they want out of the court service. If there is a divorce councelling service in your area go to them and seek help either wise I don't know what I can suggest.

The good parent must file a case against the bad parent in court. Statements of witnesses must accompany the complaint of the good parent.

Seriously, both kids are being screwed over. Is this a movie? The child in the Good Parent's custody hates the other parent and the child in the Evil Overlord's custody hates the Good Parent (although that is just because of mind control). Do the siblings get to spend any time with one another? Is each kid going it alone, serving as a pawn in this contest among their parents? Are there any neutral parties in all of this? I don't want the ten points, but I do want someone to get those poor kids out of that squabble not of their making. Edit: Thanks, your rant in the guise of addt'l info just confirms my impression. I pity the kids and hope someone will be able to intervene to save them. BTW, this isn't the site to get information. In order to do anything other than have a pity party, there need to be real facts exchanged. For example, where do these people live, state laws vary. What legal proceedings have taken place, what decisions have been rendered, what proceedings are still pending. Go to your local library and find out what social service organizations are available and what resources they have. Contact local polititians and ask for help or advice. Useless activity = getting angry and pissy at people on the internet.

Call the cops every time he refuses visitation. Eventually the cops will tire of him & the DA will either fine, take custody, or put him in jail or all 3. Tell her to keep obeying the order no matter how hard. Tell her to make the daughter carry a tape recorder in her purse pocket whatever and make sure she has a cell phone at all times & don't let the dad know.
